I wrote a book about curling that is out this fall. I’m very proud of it and it’s designed to be enjoyed by anyone from the most staunch curling hater to the person who just goes to the curling club on a Friday night to “hang out”. You may pre-order it now and I’d be thrilled if you did
I think I'm actually getting good at acting now. Doing one of these episodes every 6 months is really working

So this Swedish band wrote an "antiracist" song where the title of the song is a slur (It was in 1992). So that's crazy. But then also, that album probably portends what was to come for North American nu-metal more than any other? It's very bizarre and simply "only on the POD Kast"
B.O.N.U.S. Kast #74: "Deaf Dumb Blind" by Clawfinger w/ Kevin Banner. So they have one really insane song that we do spend a LOT of time discussing, but luckily all their other songs are insane too. But the music is kinda good? And foreshadowed nu-metal? Wild album

You could reply to this post with about 300 nu-metal songs so I’ll refrain
In honor of me listening to "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd several times, what's a song you love that isn't very good by a band/group/artist that isn't very good either

The way Dylan Holloway (81) plays this is as bad as you could imagine a hockey player playing a sequence. Could poke the puck free 1-on-3 but just stands there while Tavares buys time for Rielly and Nylander to arrive, then rushes over to Willy only to get absolutely dog-walked on the goal
John Tavares goes 1-on-3 against the Blues giving enough time for Nylander to get on the ice and undress them

I think I’m a bit of a cynic by nature but when it comes to “The Reason”, sometimes you must simply bow down and recognize a brilliant rock ballad
Episode 75: Hoobastank’s “The Reason”, or When We Learned Hoobastank Might Be Canadian. They’re nice, well-adjusted guys, and the lead singer is “Doug Robb”. They might be Canadian. Also, album is kinda good? Plus, we discuss Sick New World and Sam Rivers.

Well that was hell. Jays were actually the better team for almost the entirety of the series. Just insane. If they hit even average with RISP they win this in like, 5. Hell.

Rory Uphold is BACK! We love Rory! Also, just to be clear, BP Classics are brand-new episodes and not old episodes we are reposting on the bonus feed for money. They are new episodes with the "classic" BP main episode format. Seems like at least one Patreon exit survey guy did not understand that.
